Born in Georgia in 1987, Khatia Buniatishvili was a prize winner at the Rubinstein piano competition in Israel in 2008, was part of the latest intake of BBC Young Generation Artists, and last year signed an exclusive contract with Sony. Her first disc, she says, had to be Liszt, because "only he would enable me to present as a unity the many aspects of my soul", and she certainly shows a startling affinity with that very particular musical world. The B minor Sonata is the centrepiece of Buniatishvili's programme, and she goes at it with real ferocity, ratcheting up the intensity within the first few dozen bars and hardly pausing for breath from then on. Some sections, such as the staccato opening of the fugue, are wonderfully done, but the constant high voltage of the playing does become wearing, and Buniatishvili's approach suits the first Mephisto Waltz much better. Her floating of the melody of the Liebestraum, and her elegant weaving through the mysterious harmonies of La Lugubre Gondola, though, show there is much more to her artistry than just full-frontal musical assaults.
